What get_system_overview does on Ikuai
AI agents call get_system_overview to retrieve information from Ikuai without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_system_overview is rated Low
This tool purely retrieves and queries system status information (CPU usage, memory, traffic, version, uptime, connected users). It has no side effects—no data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. This is a straightforward monitoring/observability function typical of router management interfaces.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_system_overview' and description '获取系统概览:CPU/内存/流量/版本/运行时间/在线用户' (Get system overview: CPU/memory/traffic/version/runtime/online users) indicate data retrieval only.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_system_overview safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ikuai, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_system_overview, this is the rule to start with:
get_system_overview is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ikuai, apply this rule, and every get_system_overview call is checked against it from then on.
